In the aftermath of Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana: Part I', crossing the Rs 600 crore mark worldwide, debates arise over Sai Pallavi's depiction of Maa Sita wielding a sword and engaging in combat sequences. Indira Krishnan, another cast member, shares her viewpoint on Sita's warrior avatar, stating that while she didn't connect the portrayal with her childhood memories of Ramayan, the filmmakers aimed to convey that Sita wasn't weak and that every female character in their adaptation embodies strength. Mukesh Khanna has also expressed concerns about the authenticity of Sita's warrior depiction, questioning its alignment with Valmiki's Ramayana.
